134 "THE CONDOR 1 Vol. IV 
Spizella socialis arizonae. Western Chipping Sparrow. [Only tolerably com- 
mon at Eureka. T. S. P.] 
Melospiza cinerea cleonensis. Mendocino Song Sparrow. Abundant breeding 
bird along the coast from Mendocino county to Crescent City. The species fairly 
swarms in some places, and is the commonest bird in deforested areas. It is found 
also in the less dense spruce and arborvitae swamps. Six breeding birds from 
Humboldt Bay, and two from Crescent City have been compared with the type of 
cleonensis, which comes from Westport, Mendocino Co. The describer made an 
unfortunate choice of type, as it is an extremel}" worn, faded, and generally dis- 
reputable-looking female. Allowing for this, however, the Humboldt Bay and 
Crescent City birds agree with it in color and measurements, except that their 
vrpper parts are a trifle darker. Cleonensis in its most typical form is found from 
Humboldt Bay to Crescent City. The type, to use a curious expression, is not 
typical cleonensis but tends ever so little toward samuelis. .A specimen taken near 
Eureka is obviously an ‘intergrade’ with samuelis. The Mendocino song sparrow 
is a good subspecies and is fairly constant throughout its range. It will be found 
to intergrade with samuelis, however, over a rather large area — anywnere in fact 
south of Cape Mendocino. [Not Melospiza melodia morpluia Condor III, 1901, 91.] 
Melospiza cinerea phaea. Oregon Song Sparrow. Three birds, probably mi- 
grants, collected near Crescent City by Edmund Heller in the autumn of 1901, are 
referable to this form. (Condor IV, March 1902, 36.) 
Melospiza cinerea morphna. Rusty Song Sparrow. I collected a very curious, 
worn, rufescent male (July 5, 1899) at Crescent City which is an anomaly in 
many respects. It looks like a small niorphna and is considerably different from 
either cleonensis or phcea in worn plumage. The bird may be an extreme individ- 
ual variant from cleonensis as it is difficult to account for morphna in this locality so 
early. 
Pipilo maculatus oregonus. Oregon Towhee. [“Found in the vicinity of Eu- 
reka.” T. S. P.] 
Zamelodia melanocephala. Black-headed Grosbeak. Not uncommon in the 
open country. Humboldt Bay [“One seen June 17,” Crescent City. T. S. P.] 
Cyanospiza amoena. Lazuli Bunting. [“Observed in the vicinity of Eureka.” 
T. S. P.] 
Progne subis hesperia. Western Martin. [Reported from Mad River, Hum- 
boldt Bay and Crescent City. T. S. P.] 
Petrochelidon lunifrons. Clift' Swallow. Common. 
Hirundo erythrogastra. Barn Swallow. Common. 
Tachycineta bicolor. Tree Swallow. Common. 
Stelgidopteryx serripennis. Rough-winged Swallow. Seen at Trinidad Head. 
[Mad R., Humboldt Bay. T. S. P.] 
Ampelis cedrorum. Cedar Waxwing [“I found a recently killed specimen in 
the road June 9th. I am told that the bird is common in the vicinity, staying 
about the orchards to eat cherries.” Crescent City. T. S. P.] 
Helminthophila celata lutescens. Lutescent Warbler. [Reported from Eu- 
reka. T. S. P ] 
Dendroica aestiva. Yellow Warbler. [Common near Eureka; Crescent City. 
T. S. P.] 
Geothlypis trichas arizela. Pacific Yellow-throat. [One seen at Rio Dell, 
Humboldt Co. T. S. P.] 
Wilsonia pusilla pileolata. Pileolated Warbler. One of the few birds found 
in the deep forest; common also in small woods and copses.
